Why PPFA?

For nearly a century, Planned Parenthood has fought for a world where every woman has immediate and unfettered access to the basic reproductive care and knowledge that is her human right. With its 73 affiliates managing nearly 800 health centers nationwide, Planned Parenthood provides family planning and reproductive health care services, education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people each year. Now, as the leading reproductive rights advocate, health care provider, and sex educator for women, Planned Parenthood looks to its next 100 years. After examining the major trends impacting the organization, the federation came together to create a vision for the future that is embodied by the goals of its new five year strategic plan: becoming the go-to source for sexuality education and sexual health information and care for young women and men, and helping to create the healthiest generation ever.

Today, Planned Parenthood is more relevant than ever. It is uniquely positioned to address the challenges of an increasingly complex healthcare landscape and seize upon opportunities to strengthen its engagement and outreach to diverse stakeholders afforded by evolving attitudes toward sexuality among a new generation of civic minded youths, shifts in racial and socio-economic demographics, and the adoption of technology to improve healthcare quality, outreach and education. To achieve its strategic objectives, Planned Parenthood has identified three pillars of organizational commitment which include: fostering a culture that embraces change; refreshing the Planned Parenthood brand and speaking with one voice; and securing a long-term sustainable base of philanthropic funding.

This is an exciting time to intern at a well-respected, dynamic and transformational organization, which will rely on the strength of its people to attain its ambitious goals.
